CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. Β§119 on Patent Application No. 2008-278088 filed in Japan on Oct. 29, 2008 and Patent Application No. 2009-73699 filed in Japan on Mar. 25, 2009, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to a semiconductor device including at least one semiconductor chip sealed in a package.
[0003] At present, a standardized surface-mount type semiconductor package is configured as follows: a semiconductor chip is fixed to a die pad of a lead frame made of a cupper (Cu) alloy or an iron-nickel (FeβNi) alloy by die bonding, a bonding pad (electrode pad) of the semiconductor chip and the end of each lead of the lead frame are wire-bonded to each other with a metal wire made of gold (Au) and the like, and the resultant chip is resin-molded using a mold having a predetermined shape.
[0004] In recent years, with the progression o...
